Ramadan is a month of fasting, prayer, reflection, and community. Observers fast each day from sunrise to sunset. After sunset, the fast is broken with a meal known as iftar. A commemoration of Muhammad’s first revelation, the annual observance of Ramadan is regarded as one of the Five Pillars of Islam and lasts from one sighting of the crescent moon to the next. This year, it is from March 10 to April 9.
